Hi, I’m Tabitha. I’ve been a Licensed Esthetician for over 20 years and a Massage Therapist for more than 10. Over time, I’ve found that I really enjoy helping people feel comfortable in their own skin and cared for—whether that’s through body waxing or massage.
I love working with any clients who need a little extra care and attention, and I offer everything from relaxing sessions to more focused trigger point work when your body needs it. If you’re looking for someone experienced, easygoing, and focused on what works best for you, I’d be happy to work with you.

"I received a massage here as a birthday gift and had such a wonderful experience. The ambience was calm and relaxing, and my masseuse was superb. I left feeling refreshed and would definitely go back again."
"I found this place last minute and I was shocked to see they had a spot open on a Friday! I am so glad I booked it! I have a wonderful experience, I will definitely be back again! Back pain? What back pain? I feel brand new. Thank you!"
"From asking whether I needed to use the restroom beforehand, ensuring the bed was just the right temperature, music at the perfect level, cupping offered during the service that I didn't originally schedule, and asking if I like regular or cold temp water...everything was lovely!"
"Their new red light therapy is the most relaxing thing I've ever done. I'm excited to see the long term benefits it produces!! Just another great reason to visit the Knot!"
"Blown away by the exceptional massage experience! Skilled therapist, peaceful ambiance, and outstanding results. Highly recommend!"
